swebs··on Gitlab reducing free tier CI/CD minutes from 2000 to 400 minutes
Well you can already self host Gitlab on your own server if you want.

swebs··on Why has college gotten so expensive in the last 30 years? A blank check in 1993
Alright, let's have a discussion then. Which cuts in state funding are you referring to? How are you measuring their effects?
swebs··on Nvidia Unveils GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs
Yes, but we've all been burned by GPU marketing in the past. Notice that they're only remarking on RTX performance. It's entirely possible that this card has a lower geekbench score or FLOPS output.
swebs··on Interchange in Houston is the same size as an entire city center in Italy
If you work in the city, don't you have to pay city taxes? That's how it works with states.
swebs··on Hacker News – Terms of Use (2014)
com is the top level domain

ycombinator is the domain

news and www are both subdomains of ycombinator

swebs··on Wind and solar are cheaper than thought, admits UK government
>Nuclear power in France is heavily subsidized and it doesn’t make much economic sense ... the overall costs are too high.

How much would it cost per kilowatt hour without subsidies?

swebs··on Gallup: 81% of Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence
>Police generally are seen as the folk who take the fun out of things

You must live in a very safe/upper-class neighborhood if that's how you think.

swebs··on Japan facing credit card number shortage
I believe you can make transactions up to 50 euros with the magnetic strip.
swebs··on Gallup: 81% of Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence
I used to live in a bad neighborhood in Philadelphia and everyone I talked to wanted more police. And this included people of every race.
swebs··on Apple ordered to not block Epic’s Unreal Engine, Fortnite to stay off App Store
This. Actions speak louder than words and Epic's anti-Linux actions with their store are extremely telling that their rhetoric about supporting open platforms is purely self-serving.
swebs··on US Border Patrol says they can create central repository of traveler emails
>The people doing the copying are basically security guards that couldn’t pass the police physical nor find work as teachers.

Or maybe they're just people who want to protect the country they live in? You can't just view everyone who disagrees with you politically as a drooling idiot.

swebs··on Telegram messaging app proves crucial to Belarus protests
How is it possible? You'd either have to give your IP address to the other person (Tox) or a central server (Telegram, Discord, etc).
swebs··on Lightroom app update wipes users' photos and presets, Adobe says not recoverable
The problem is caused when Firefox is installed through your operating system's package manager. But after a bit of searching, it looks like you can just get a version of Firefox from Mozilla's website that contains its own updater and avoids this problem.

swebs··on Lightroom app update wipes users' photos and presets, Adobe says not recoverable
That's my experience every time Firefox updates these days through unattended-upgrades. The sad thing is that it handled it just fine without crashing up until a few years ago.
swebs··on Lightroom app update wipes users' photos and presets, Adobe says not recoverable
I would never give Microsoft my credit card number after hearing all the horror stories of people trying to cancel Xbox Live.
swebs··on ReMarkable MicroSD (2019)
Whoops, I thought it was asking for Linux tablets in general.
swebs··on On the Delaware, a promising new era in cleanup of an urban river
Yeah, it's not very accessible at all. In the Northeast at least, to get there you have to cross I-95, then a block of industrial area, then the actual river is usually blocked off by a tree line. And it's like that for 90% of the coast.
swebs··on ReMarkable MicroSD (2019)
There's the PineTab, but its still in limited production runs

swebs··on Old salt mine is the first emission-free compressed air energy facility (2019)
>7,100 m3

You mean 7,100 m2. 22,000 cubic meters would fit in there if you stacked it just over 3 meters high.

swebs··on Feds say Yale discriminates against Asian, white applicants
>is stating your ethnicity normal on uni applications?

Yes

>What is the reasoning behind that?

Affirmative action requirements. Students can check the box for "prefer not to answer" if they wish. Though I don't know if that gives you better results than admitting to be white or asian.

swebs··on Factorio 1.0
I hate Skinner box games too, but Factorio is definitely not one of them. The entire game aside from uranium processing is completely deterministic.
swebs··on Unraveling the linothorax mystery (2013)
Huh, the process sounds like an early form of the same process used to make carbon fiber.

swebs··on Let's Build a 28-Core Raspberry Pi Cluster
Heh, it can get worse.

swebs··on TikTok to Sue U.S. over Ban
>the US's plan to maintain global dominance

I really don't know what you're trying to say. If the USA achieved global dominance, there would be no China. There would only be the USA. Globally. Obviously, that's not the case.

swebs··on Over 400 vulnerabilities on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip
The Pinephone at least isolates the baseband from the main CPU and memory.

swebs··on TikTok to Sue U.S. over Ban
The USA has been the sole military superpower for 30 years now, with more power than the rest of the world combined. If they wanted global dominance, they'd already have it long ago.
swebs··on Planet Ceres is an 'ocean world' with sea water beneath surface, mission finds
It's possible that the impact that caused the crater only liquefied the brine at the impact site.
swebs··on 5G Just Got Weird
The point is that they were able to meet capacity with 4g towers. I'm not sure how that's related. I guess I should also point out that the population of the city is 600k people, so it may not carry over to something like NYC or Tokyo.
